Penn Station Concourse Food & Beverage Build-Outs

Restaurant and QSR build-outs inside one of the country's busiest transit hubs, delivered around live passenger traffic and fixed opening dates.

The Penn Station concourse never really closes. Penult has delivered a series of food-and-beverage build-outs there for national and specialty brands — including Chick-fil-A, Pret A Manger, Starbucks, H&H Bagels, Wasabi Sushi, Van Leeuwen Ice Cream, Dunkin', Track Bar & Grill, and Penn Cellars — each with its own brand standards, kitchen requirements, and opening date, all executed around active pedestrian flow, restricted access, and off-hour work.

Scope of work

• Restaurant, QSR, and specialty food-and-beverage build-outs
• Chick-fil-A, Pret A Manger, Starbucks, H&H Bagels, Wasabi Sushi, Van Leeuwen Ice Cream, Dunkin', Track Bar & Grill, and Penn Cellars
• Brand-standard finishes and food-service coordination
• Kitchen, MEP, and grease and ventilation infrastructure in a constrained hub
• Night and off-hour work around active passenger traffic
• Health, fire, and building inspection sequencing to protect opening dates

Project constraints

• Live, high-traffic transit environment
• Restricted delivery windows and material staging
• Multiple brand standards and stakeholders
• Fixed opening dates in a public concourse

Each build-out was delivered to its brand's standard and turned over for opening, with construction sequenced to protect the passenger experience and the concourse's daily operations.
